The HR industry is a fast-growing and rapidly developing field setting high demands on HR-professionals to keep abreast of change. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to explore the possibilities HR-professionals in governmental organisations have in order to develop their HR-competencies. In order to do this the thesis has sought out to explore what motivates competency development and how it is put into practice by interviewing four HR-professionals. The analysis has been conducted with the help of the theory of Situated learning. The result of the thesis is that HR-professionals develop their HR-competencies both through formal and informal learning although they prefer to use informal learning through their communities of practice. The tasks conducted by HR-professionals as well as their formal education differ to a vast extent which acts as a motivation for competency development. Another factor which motivates HR-professionals’ competency development is that the HR field is rapidly changing which sets high demands on them, both through their organisations and through the individuals themselves, to continuously learn in their profession.
